I have had a really bad spate of ill health in the last few weeks, including a kidney infection, heart infection and now tonsillitis.
My heart infection involved a hospital stay, and I was told to rest completely for 2 weeks. We have 2 young DC so I only managed 1 day resting at home and then it was back to normal.
I have been suffering with tonsillitis since Thursday, diagnosed today. I haven't been able to eat for days, am taking painkillers, now antibiotics too, and resting in bed as much as possible. I basically feel like hell.
OH woke up on Friday and declared he had exactly the same symptoms as me. High fever, sore throat, cold sweats, etc. So obviously I didn't get to rest that day as he said he needed the day in bed.
He wanted another day in bed on Saturday but by this point I was too ill and somehow managed to get him to pull his weight, and thankfully my DM stepped in to help with the kids too.
He has been drinking and eating normally the whole time - can gulp down a glass of water in a few seconds for example, and happily munches on toast for breakfast or whatever.
He now says he won't see the doctor as he is starting to feel better but is telling everyone that we both have tonsillitis... it's clear he doesn't.
He has been really unpleasant to me for the last few days because I've needed to rest.
Why is he doing this?
